Between these is a ventilation strip. Wider opening to L with flat concrete lintel and double planked doors. To L of centre in the middle storey is a planked door with timber lintel under a segmental head of voussoirs. To the R, aligned with the ground floor opening, is a small boarded window with almost flat head of voussoirs. In the upper storey, immediately below the eaves, are 3 small boarded openings of irregular size and shape with stone sills.

In the N gable end is a doorway offset to the L into the middle storey. It has a planked door under a segmental head of stone voussoirs and is approached by wide stone steps. To the R is a large lean-to which projects to the rear. It has a small concrete lean-to to the R and a blocked doorway into the E side at a high level. The rear is only 2-storey as the ground rises, with a catslide roof. Wide full-height opening to L and small window to centre. Added shed at right angles to R, open-fronted and facing N.

To the L of the malthouse is an adjoining stone farmhouse. It is 2-storey and 3-window with a 2-window range at right angles and late C20 openings.

Partial access to interior. The L bay to the ground floor is now a garage. The middle storey, entered from the rear, has a wood planked floor and cast iron I-section ceiling beams which carry a flagstone floor to the attic storey. The attic is said to retain some cast iron ventilation tiles and flues.
